Would young men become sexual predators if they were raised in an environment where sexual predation was not considered normal, acceptable behavior?

Would young women have sex with countless multiple partners and give birth to children without fathers if they were raised in an environment where these behaviors were not considered acceptable behaviors?

I think not.

Can I prove it? Well, let's see. Statistically, it was almost unheard of for Puritan couples in colonial Massachusetts for the woman to be pregnant when the couple got married, whereas, in colonial Virginia, populated by Cavaliers, it was almost as common as it was in the early 20th century. Both sets of couples were from England. What else can explain the difference other than social expectations?
